In order to create a proper Splash / Setup screen, certain key things but be implemented. This is a guide to those functions and properties that must be set for a new QOrbiter to be created.

Properties

Properties are accessed by: dceTimecode.propertyname
Property Name Property Type Signal Description Example
tcTotalTime int totalTimeChanged() the total time, in milliseconds of the current media Here i use the total time to calculate the time when dragging the seek bar back and forth
  property int slidertimer: (scroll_tab.x / scroller_transit.width) * dceTimecode.tcTotalTime
tcCurrentTime int timeChanged() the current position, in milliseconds
runningTimer double positionChanged() Used to constantly update the position of the seek bar as media advances By setting the x property to do a little math, I get the seek bar to advance across the transit as the media plays
x: ( dceTimecode.runningTimer / dceTimecode.tcTotalTime) * scroller.width
dragTime String dragTimeChanged() the time that the slider if implemented has been dragged to. Here, it is utilized in a popup that shows when a user drags the seek bar
Text {
           id: drag_label
           text: dceTimecode.dragTime
           anchors.centerIn: parent
       }
qsTotalTime String totalStringTimeChanged() Total time of media, formatted in HH::MM::SS - updated every second
qsCurrentTime String stringTimeChanged() The current position of the media in HH:MM::SS - updated every second
stringPlaybackSpeed string sPlaybackSpeedChanged() Playback speed in string format
playbackSpeed int playbackSpeedChanged() Playback Speed in integer format

Splash Page

This page is not the traditional Splash screen. Instead of it being a loading screen, it should contain the following

  • A loader to switch between the Connection Screen and the new QOrbiter setup screen
  • logic to change screens and anything else you want done in the the setup screens before connecting to the router.

Connection Screen

This screen should be the first loaded by the Splash.qml and contain the neccesary elements to establish a connection to thr router. This includes:

  • Text entry for device number
  • text entry from internal ip / hostname
  • text entry box for external ip / hostname.
  • Button to connect
  • Button to start new QOrbiter setup
